Cannot start or join family sharing

When I removed family sharing I got this massage

"Cannot start family sharing, this account will be able to use family sharing again after 156 days"


I don't know why, I cannot find any notice from apple or information says that or help to solve it

The solution is to wait 157 days. The reason is outlined in the message and in these articles:


Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support

"Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year." March 27, 2023


Legal - Apple Media Services - Apple

D. "Family Sharing Rules: You can only belong to one Family at a time, and may join any Family no more than twice per year."
